After 19 hours of grilling by the NCAA's Committee on Infractions, Ole Miss can now return to its regularly scheduled football season while waiting for the probation executioner.
At an Embassy Suites ballroom in Covington, Kentucky, the Rebels finished Tuesday two 91/2-hour days reviewing the 21 allegations which included 15 Level 1 violations. Ole Miss contested portions of nine allegations.
Naturally, Ole Miss athletic director Ross Bjork had no comment when the proceedings ended Tuesday night.
Appearing before the committee over the two-day span besides Bjork and school chancellor Jeff Vitter were fired former Rebels' coach Hugh Freeze, former staff administrator Barney Farrar, former assistant Chris Kiffin, current interim coach Matt Luke, current assistants Maurice Harris and Derrick Nix and current Mississippi State linebacker Leo Lewis.
